No, I am talking about the PCCARD formatter for Card and Socket Services
under MS-DOS on a PC Laptop - I can find no other way to format the
1.5mb cards - format.com on the poqet fails, and 2MFORMAT formats the
cards to 512k!

Probably, but I like the ability to visualize fonts and underlining
etc., which is helpful because I use my poqet mostly for notetaking and
outline making.
